Alright kids, three big money quizzes tonight, one in Center City, one in West Philly, and one in Manyunk. We begin at O’Neals. $50 GC first prize, $25 GC 2nd Prize, and total parity, with 4 different winners in the last 4 weeks. Action starts at 8 p.m. $3.50 margaritas.

We move to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. Awesome specials and awesome food. $10 gets you a beer and a personal pizza, and $3 gets you a Sly Fox. They also have 60 beers on draft. And of course the best quizzo prize in the city. $100 GC for first place, $50 for 2nd.

And I will break precedent and give you tonight’s wild card round. I am totally fascinated by this Wikileaks affair, so tonight’s wild card round will be “International Affairs”. Might want to spend a minute or two poking around the BBC website instead of just spending your whole damn day on TMZ for once in your life. Cretin.

Of course, it is also big money Tuesday in Manyunk. Mike Minion explains:

This is the week for big bounties. After Ebonic Plague won again last week, I immediately placed a $20 bounty on them.  The Taproom’s wonderful bartender Ephraim immediately backed my play by adding $20 of his own.  You just gotta love a bartender who’s got the quizmaster’s back.  That should tell you a little bit about the spirit of quizzo at the Taproom.

What it means for all of you is that if someone can beat Ebonic Plague for first place, they will get an extra $40 in addition to the $25 gift certificate.  Not a bad payoff for having fun with a great group of people.

As if that’s not enough, the Challenge Round ended in a tie last week when one team crossed off a right answer that would have won the prize pool.  So tonight’s pool starts off HUGE and will easily top 100 “points”.

The Taproom also upgraded their already excellent menu.  I have eaten there several times and each time it has been a real treat. I would put their food up against any of the Main Street places and it would win hands down.

There’s LOTS of money and pride on the line tonight. So come on out and join an incredibly festive and enthusiastic crowd for one of the best nights of quizzo anywhere.

Here’s a few words from Mike Minion on tonight’s quiz at the Westbury.

That is, if your team is good enough. Despite a huge bounty on Group W and Duane’s World last week, they still finished first and second.  And if that wasn’t bad enough, Group W won the challenge round as well. So it’s time to wipe the smug grins off Group W’s collective faces. This week, any team  who can beat them for first place gets $40 extra, straight from my pocket. That’s in addition to the $40 gift certificate for winning the quiz.  Frankly, I thought teams on the JGT circuit had some pride. So why are they staying at home and letting these guys win week after week? Show some mettle and win $80 in the process.

All the rest of the festivities are as usual.  I’ll give away some books and CD’s before the quiz, and the hugely popular challenge round will take place immediatley after the main event.  There is a French Fry question after Round One where some lucky team will win a free basket of fries. And of course, there will be some incredible keg and bottle specials.

See ya there tonight!

ALSO TONIGHT: The return of Chip Chantry’s One Man Show! Show kicks off at Shubin Theatre (407 Bainbridge) at 8 p.m.

Well, I suppose you’ve got a choice tonight. You could go to some modern day Gomorrah of a bar and repeatedly spell a 6-letter bird hundreds of times, or you could actually use your brain while enjoying football. A radical notion, I know, but hey, the future is here. Climb aboard.

We start at Ugly American (Front and Federal) at 8 p.m. Every time the Eagles score a touchdown, I ask a new French Fry question. If this game is anything like the Redskins game a few weeks ago, we could have dozens of french fry baskets throughout the bar. Also, Lagers are a mere $2 and Kenzingers are $3. At the Bards, action kicks off at 10:15 p.m. We had last week off for the holiday but hopefully can back to the packed houses we’ve had in the month leading up to that. Their awesome projector TV will of course be showing the game. Hope to see ya tonight!

Things are looking rough outside. Howling winds, driving rain, a practical monsoon. Can the quizmaster possibly make it through this mess? Of course he can. He must. Because it’s Wednesday, and these questions aren’t going to ask themselves. Therefore, I shall storm though these brutal conditions that would make the average man cower in fear. You’re welcome.

We start at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Perhaps the most impressive collection of teams on the tour. The Barristers, the Jams, Magnus, 1022. Any of them could win on any given week, and there are rumors of a Missing Heads sighting this week as well. If you want to test your mettle against the big boys, this is a good place to do it. And needless to say, the drink specials are among the best in the city. 16 oz Rolling Rock cans are $2 and $3 Magic Hat Howl pints.

On to the Black Sheep. Important Note: Black Sheep quiz is pushed back an hour tonight due to a private party. We will be starting at 9 p.m. Duane’s World and Catdog are the perennial favorites there, but there is plenty of parity as well. So put on your rubbers and get out to quizzo! The quizmaster will not let you down! Oh, and I’ve got some sweet last place prizes this week as well.

UPDATE: Uh, nevermind about that sleet and rain bit. It’s pretty sunny and clear right now. But um, I’m still pretty brave.
